Working in Choice Script

This was a hard one for me - is this a Twine/Sugar Cube game or a CS game/text? Is it a linear novel, or can I adapt this to a choice-based game with a limited action/combat system and additional statistics that impact gameplay? I love Twine-but the coding required for the more advanced variables has me now working in CS. The Choice of Games (COG) community is a robust one, and readership is very high. And that's the goal. To get readers and learn enough of CS so I can apply for work as an author on a branching narrative of their design. 

So, you get to see me learn with this 100k IF game. I will write it first and then expand the gameplay aspects as my abilities increase.
